Caramelized Sweet Onion Dip

4 cups chopped onion (2 large sweet onions should do it)
1/2 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
4 tablespoons low fat sour cream
3 tablespoons low fat mayo
1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place onion in a heavy dutch oven and toss with butter and olive oil.  Cover pot and cook for 1-1 1/2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes, until a caramel brown color.  Tip: You might want to decrease oven temperature after about 45-60 minutes to 350 degrees, and start stirring every 15 minutes to avoid burnt edge bits.  Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Put onions with olive oil in crockpot on high for 11 hours.

Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe mixing bowl and heat for 15-ish seconds until warmed enough to be easily stir-able.  Add sour cream, mayo, Worcestershire, salt, thyme, and garlic.  Stir to combine and then mix in caramelized onions.  Chill overnight before serving.  Yields about 1 1/4 cups dip.
